Can anyone demystify the PSE Organizer catalog backup options?

I need to backup my catalog--preferably just my catalog, not all my pictures (the picture files themselves are already backed up). More accurately, I would like my automated online backup service (Carbonite) to back up my PSE Organizer catalog for me, just as it has already backed up my pictures. But the catalog is in some caddywompus location that Carbonite doesn't back up by default. I think I can manually override Carbonite's default settings and tell it to back that location up anyway, if I only knew where and what files to look for.
If I click on Help > System Info..., PSE tells me my catalog is located in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\clayscatalog. It doesn't go all the way to the file level, just down to that last folder, which shares the name of my catalog. But I have no idea which file inside of that folder is my catalog, or what to backup. Inside that folder called clayscatalog, there are the following items:
BreezeData(folder)
CAXMPFiles(folder)
syncdb(folder)
backupCt.dat
catalog.pse9db
collstatus.dat
face.thumb.9.cache
itemData.mk4
rmf.3.cache
tagstatus.dat
thumb.5.cache
watch.2.cache
Which of these files/folders should I be targeting for backup, all of them? And which would I browse to find in order to restore my catalog if my computer ever crashed and I needed to do a restore? Assuming all my photos are backed up and able to be restored to the same folder hierarchy, I assume one of these files/folders is going to have that information and be able to restore everything easily, preserving all my photo ratings, captions, tags, etc., right?
It would seem to make sense for the PSE to offer the option when you choose Backup from the file menu to back up all your catalog data only, as opposed to only having the option to backup everything, including all the picture files. Because I'm sure many people, like me, already have their picture files backed up and don't have need for that. Any guidance on this would be much appreciated.

First, short answer : the catalog consists in the whole folder you found. All those files are used in the organizer, but the .cache files which may have a big size will be regenerated by the organizer if they are deleted. The problem is this operation may be very long, so you will be better if you save everything;
If you use the backup and restore feature in the Organizer, you'll only have only to tell the restore process where your backup (of everything, files and folders) is located.

Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.

Win7, PSE10: The PSE-Organizer Picture Selection jumps randomly after deleting a picture

Hi,
I'm using PSE10 on a Win7 (64bit) OS. When I delete a picture (from catalogue and harddrive) the PSE-Organizer tends to jump down several pictures (Haven't been able to determine a fixed number), so I have to go up again and browse through the same pics a couple of times.
Has anyone experienced similar malfunctions or has an inkling, why my program behaves like a squirrel on caffeine?
Hopefully
Dave.

Hi Belgatan999,
The behavior that I am aware of in this case, is that Organizer tries to maintain focus on the first media shown on Top Left of the grid.
Let me elaborate it more. Suppose you are seeing some images at a particular scroll postion. Notice the first image shown on top left corner of the grid (Say this to be A). Now you delete a media and after the grid refreshes in such a way that so as the maintain focus on A. That is now Organizer changes grid so as to necessarily show A somewhere in grid. Please let me know if you are not seeing this behavior.

I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera. Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ? What hardware and software should I include in the package?

I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera. Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ? What hardware and software should I include in the package?

This is quite an open suggestion, but here are some ideas which might get you started. There are good HD cameras in your price range from Sony, Panasonic and Canon (and maybe other manufacturers). Tapeless formats vary. I have only worked with Sony XDCAM which seems pretty good to me. File sizes for material shot at 35MBS are not too huge and, with the free Sony transfer and conversion programme, are easy to bring into the computer via USB direct from the camera or from a fairly inexpensive converter. The Sony XDCAM EX3 can produce results well up to broadcast quality.
As to hardware, you'll need a powerful MAC - iMac, Macbook Pro or MacPro with 4GB or more of RAM and a good video card. Softwarewise, FCPX is quite a bit cheaper than FC Studio 3 and of course it's 64bit and can make better use of multi-core machines than FCP7. It's also designed to handle HD formats with less hassle than FCP7 and is matched to the latest versions of Motion and Compressor. But you'd probably be wise to search reviews of FCPX before you make your choice - it has some issues.
A good HD monitor will be essential and, for colour correction etc, you may want to consider a second monitor or HD TV foe editing. ( A MacPro is generally the best machine to connect a second monitor to).
This should give you a good editing system, but there are many other things you could add (Photoshop, professional sound monitors, etc)
Hope this helps a bit.

HAVING TROUBLE SAVING ITEMS IN LION AS IT IS DIFFERENT THAN SNOW LEAPORD... CAN ANYONE SHARE THE CORRECT PROCEEDURE?

I'M HAVING TROUBLE USING THE SAVE FEATURE IN LION AS IT'S MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THAT IN SNOW LEAPORD, CAN ANYONE SHARE THE CORRECT PROCEEDURE TO SAVE A DOCUMENT?

Revert back to Snow Leopard would be the ideal choice.
Not writing in all caps would be nice too, it's SHOUTING
Thirdly, Lion introduced auto-save, so you have to duplicate the file, then open the duplicate to make changes.
Wonderfully asinine.
Quit the program, it will ask you to save.

I'm trying to delete multiple pix in iPhoto that i stupidly made duplicates of without knowing, I've tried going into the applications folder and using image capture but i think I've missed a step , can anyone send the correct info / steps pls thanks

I'm trying to delete multiple pix in iPhoto that i stupidly made duplicates of without knowing, I've tried going into the applications folder and using image capture but i think I've missed a step , can anyone send the correct info / steps pls thanks

again image capture is not involved with deleting photos from iPhoto in any way ever
the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager is very good for finding duplicates as is Duplicate Annihilator
And I have no idea who told you this - or what it means - but re-read both of my opening statements
I was told I could delete multpiles thru image capture by transferring my iPhoto library etc

Read detailed information for work breakdown structures
Functionality
You use this method to read detailed information about project definitions and the WBS elements of certain projects from the system.
Notes
Enter the project definitions and/or the WBS elements, which you want detailed information about, in the parameter PROJECT_DEFINITION or I_WBS_ELEMENT_TABLE respectively.
If you only enter project definitions, the details of all the WBS that belong to the project definitions are read including the hierarchy. If you explicitly enter WBS elements, only these are read.
Messages are returned in Return parameters. For information about the return values and their meaning, see the parameter documentation.

Can anyone explain the functionality of FM f4ut_parameter_get_values ?

Can anyone explain the functionality of FM f4ut_parameter_get_values ?
This is used in search help to retrive values from screen.This doesnt seem to work for me

hi,
check this
F4UT_PARAMETER_VALUE_GET
Short Text
Standard search help exit for determining contents of a srch help par.
FunctionalityBy calling this module in a search help exit, you can find out the current contents of a search help parameter . To do this, you must pass the name of the parameter in PARAMETER.
You must distinguish between the parameter contents that are used in the selection process of the input help process and the parameter contents that are determined by the selection process and the user selection.
Parameter contents that are used in the selection process are default values of search help parameters, values that are included in the input help process by attaching the search help to the screen from field contents of the screen or its module pool, and possibly complex restrictions made by the user in the dialog box for restricting value. Such parameter contents can also be included in the input help process by the search help exit itself.
The contents of the specified parameter used in the selection process are stored as complex restrictions in SELOPT_TAB after the call. If exactly one value is defined by these complex restrictions (for example if the restrictions have exactly one row and if SIGN = 'I' and OPTION = 'EQ' for this row), this unique value can be found in VALUE.
Parameter contents that are determined by selection process and user selection are the parameter contents that are shown in the dialog box for displaying the hit list or returned on the screen. They are managed by the F4 processor in RECORD_TAB.
This module enables you to transfer the information about the specified parameters from RECORD_TAB to RESULTS_TAB in edited form.
Pass the name of the field of RESULTS_TAB that should contain the contents of the parameter to the function module in parameter FIELDNAME. If the row type of RESULTS_TAB is elementary, pass the value '*' in FIELDNAME. The rest of RESULTS_TAB is not changed. The values are copied row by row. By removing rows at the end or by adding intiial rows you can make sure that RESULTS_TAB has exactly as many rows as RECOD_TAB.
Example
You can find an example of the second kind of use of the module in the search help exit SAPBC_GLOBAL_F4_SFLIGHT of search help SFLIGHT.
Both types of use can be found in the search help exit SAPBC_GLOBAL_F4_SFLIGHT_MIN_FR of search help SFLIGHT_MIN_FREE .
Notes
1. Parameters OFF_RESULT and LEN_RESULT should not be used any more since there are basic problems when using UNICODE. The contents of these parameter are still analyzed when parameter FILEDNAME is initial for compatibility reasons.
2. Only the dialog box for restricting values can normally produce complex restrictions for a parameter.
3. If VALUE has the value SPACE, this means that either there are complex restrictions for the parameter or the unique contents are SPACE. SELOPT_TAB must be evaluated in order to determine which of these is the case.
4. If the search help does not have any parameter with the given name, the exception PARAMETER_UNKNOWN is triggered.
5. Only parameter contents for the search help displayed in the hit list or the EXPORT parameters of the search help are first managed in RECORD_TAB. If the specified parameter does not satisfy one of these conditions and if parameter RESULTS_TAB is specified in the call, the exception PARAMETER_UNKNOWN can also be triggered. This is not true, however, if results were already entered for the parameter with function module F4UT_PARAMETER_RESULTS_PUT or if space was reserved for the parameter in RECORD_TAB with function module F4UT_PARAMETER_ALLOCATE. The parameter therefore should only be defined if information about the parameter contents are really required.
6. The header lines of the specified parameter are also transferred from RECORD_TAB to RESULTS_TAB.
7. The other parameters of this module must be defined as the parameters of the search help exit having the same name, but they are not changed by this module.
8. RESULTS_TAB should be a standard table.
9. The contents of the specified parameter in RECORD_TAB are copied to the specified field of table RESULTS_TAB with a MOVE of the correct type. If this is not possible, the target field is assigned the initial value.
10. If RESULTS_TAB has no field with the name specified by FIELDNAME, only the number of rows of RESULTS_TAB is adjusted to those of RECORD_TAB as described.

Can anyone explain the advantage of iPod vs iPad over Kobo Vox for reading iBooks?

Can anyone explain the advantage of iPod vs iPad over Kobo Vox for reading iBooks?

Thank you Alan and know you are right. I really can do all I need with my netbook and ereader and do not need the ipad. I think I just wanted something new and felt I may enjoy using it a lttle more than the netook. But it would be a waste just to buy one when I donlt acutally need it And, donl't think it is worth the extra money for me the get the 4g wireless capability since I doubt I would really need it often.
I may treat myself to the Ipad for the color, touchpad and fun to use but it is very expensive considering how little it will do for me no more than the things I want it for. It woudl be and expensive luxuray, I can do without. I actually need t learn how to use more of the function avaiable first. Maybe I should take up playing games and learning to take digital pictures so I can at least load them. If I could learn to do that and take a decent picture, I could start selling back all the "stuff" I have purchased on ebay. haha - I do have a nice doll collection, I would like to sell. I just do not have room for anything else. That was the primary purpose for the Kindle Ereader I bought and enjoy so much,
But, I will hold onto the thought for a while and see how it goes and what other comments I get, If I think I cannot live without it, then I will have to rethink which one to buy, I coud get the 32 g if I did not have to pay for the 4g wireless. And, if I knew I could get help to teach me how to use and enjoy all the functions, I would give it more serious consideration. My granddaugther got one for Christmas and that was what got me interested in it. I love the size of the screen and it had good color and was fast. She even had an application where she could write her notes and it would convert into typed words. That was a neat feature, If you could print it?
But thanks again for your comments and I will check later to see I get any other feedback.

Can anyone clarify the meaning of Cruise Ship data?

Can anyone clarify the meaning of Cruise Ship data? I recently asked for it on my account, but when I returned from my cruise I was charged all sorts of Global Roaming data charges. No Cruise Ship usage was listed on my bill even though I only used it while at sea (tethering my PC).
The rep I spoke with said that the billing codes used for Cruise Ship Data and Global Data are the same, and Global Data was how it was listed on my bill. What would the distinction be, then? I assumed that Cruise Ship data would use the cruise ship's towers, but it appears that you have to worry about what country you are sailing near while at sea and whether they subscribe. Anyone have any light to shed on this?
Thanks!
P.S. The service is even slower than what the cruise ship offers for $.55/minute, and the connection is not reliable. I will not be using this feature again, and cannot in good conscience recommend it.

Thanks so much for asking, Rayray_10803. I would be happy to clarify roaming charges.
Wireless Cruise Ship Service allows Verizon Wireless customers to make and receive voice calls while at sea using their own mobile phone and mobile telephone number.
This service exists on various cruise lines, through an agreement with Wireless Maritime Services (WMS), Maritime Communications Partners (MCP) and Sea Mobile to offer an advanced network on board various cruise ships for Verizon Wireless.
For this reason, rates on cruise ships are different than they are when you visit the country without using the towers on the ship.

Can anyone explain the main differences between CRM 2007 and CRM 7?.
Does CRM 2007 use the WebUI?.
Jason

My fault for not putting my question forward correctly.
I have worked with CRM 7 a few times now, but my experience has jumped me from CRM 5 straight to CRM 7, having never touched CRM 2007.
I now have an opening to work on CRM 2007 so I was intrigued to know what it physically looked like. I assume it does not use the WebUI interface?.

JList and ListModel, can anyone explain the basics?

Hi
I have an object A containing a Vector X of objects. I want to display them in a JList. I could always use DefaultListModel and copy the items of the Vector X into the default list model using addElement. But that would create a copy of the information in vector X. That is exactly why one should use a custom list model to ensure that the data is in sync with the GUI .
I want to add and remove items from the JList, and simultaious add and remove items from the Vector X. Can anyone proviede a samll example of how to do this.
I have tryed myselfe, but I can not get the JList updated with the changes of the listmodel. I have read the documentation about ListDataListener, but I just don't get it. A small example would realy be appreciated!

Hi, can anyone explain the difference between the models A1457 and ME432B/A of the iPone 5s.

Hi Gary,
Model # A1457 designates that it's the European market model, which I believe works on EE, Vodafone and O2 in the UK.
ME432B/A is the part # that, in your case, I believe, desginates a 16GB Space Grey Unlocked version...
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong on that
